holy crap! I’ve been taking a class on empowerment.<\/p>\n
..never never thought I would ever say that..My philosophy has always been, when I want to get somewhere, to charge off in a direction and eventually I’ll get there.<\/p>\n
Empowerment? With no measures of success or progress? What a crock.<\/p>\n
I was wrong. funny how I can be wrong even in areas that i have learned a better answer<\/p>\n
but still I don’t grasp my own revelation<\/p>\n
I learned this here http:\/\/writtenbymurphy.com\/wonderblog\/2002\/12\/the-myth-and-science-of-santa\/<\/p>\n
and here http:\/\/writtenbymurphy.com\/wonderblog\/2007\/07\/the-borders-of-language-and-the-universe\/<\/p>\n
and probably more if I look.<\/p>\n
and yet, here i go thinking I need to measure the world in spoons<\/p>\n
but I had the good sense to blindly reach for this class. And I am learning new ways to gauge.<\/p>\n
What’s it for, this measuring? in my day job, it is said, “measure twice cut once”<\/p>\n
therefore, measuring is for the purpose of cutting.<\/p>\n
measuring is for the purpose of taking an action<\/p>\n
or making a decision<\/p>\n
decision making and action taking are often based on non-quantifiable\u00a0 reasons.<\/p>\n
Who hasn’t done something without entirely knowing why?<\/p>\n
“Because I want to!”<\/p>\n
and that is a perfectly fine reason. But maybe it shoulnd’t be considered a reasonable reason.<\/p>\n
So, I can see that there is a huge foggy area that is outside of reason that guides my life.<\/p>\n
And this class is the flashlight on my helmet that is shining into that gray patch.<\/p>\n
Teacher started out in a good spot:<\/p>\n
What do I want?<\/p>\n
and the focus here is the subject, not the verb or the object.<\/p>\n
Not the what\u00a0 or the want<\/p>\n
The focus is on the ‘I’. I am where it all begins.<\/p>\n
I don’t know about you, but I am still mysterious.<\/p>\n
But if I can’t learn things about me, no one else can teach me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
